A different APUSH teacher at my school has tried predicting questions, and can at least eliminate some of the eras. As in, if it was tested last year, it won’t be tested this year, that sort of thing.</p>
hmm… so since the dbq was about nixon last year, it won’t be the late 1900s right…? Oh and I was looking through the pdf files of the previous apush exam dbqs on the college board website and they had a dbq and a form b for the same year… what’s form b?</p>
It’s either the second form during exam day, or the form for the make up test </p>

does that mean my dbq Q might be different from my friend’s or my classmate’s? Do people that go to the same school all get the same form or is it random…?</p>
@imurfan The people who take it with you have the same test, but if someone has a testing conflict and has to take it later, they’ll get a different form.</p>
Sooo I’m just starting to study for this exam…kinda late but I have AMSCO and the crash course. I can’t seem to find direct hits anymore?</p>
Btw anyone know where I can find the answer guide for amsco online?</p>
Does anyone have a copy of the 2006 released exam?? Message me if you do and we can make an exchange</p>

i have a question… i dont live in the states and apparently, the dbq question for international students is different… u know how it was nixon last year? i asked people who took it at my school last year and all of them said it was jackson for them last year… how do i guess the dbq Q for international? so worried!</p>
Hi imurfan! What I’ve heard is that you guys get the “form B” questions, if you go to the collegeboard page on the APUSH “exam information.”</p>
Why bother trying to guess it…Just learn everything and you’ll be ready for whatever they throw at you</p>
for history, it is basically knowing the stuff
just read over the princeton review or one of the other prep books. As long as you have the knowledge, the rest will come as a breeze</p>
So my AP US teacher is awesome, but he’s made his class extremely difficult (fitting for APUSH). He keeps telling us ridiculously high numbers for essay and mc scores to score well on the exam, something like 60 multiple choice with 4’s on the essays for a 3… Does anyone know the actual scores that are required to recieve a 5, or at least some past scoring formulas? I know about AP Pass, but my teacher tells me it’s innaccurate -_-. I have a feeling he is lying to us to make us work harder haha.</p>
AP Pass is accurate. See the released exams’ curves here:

@GranuaileGrace: hey thanks! i checked and the dbq for 2011 IS about jacksonian democracy and stuff 
i thought there was a form C for international students or something like that XD but thanks so much!</p>
Do you guys think now is a little late to start studying practically everyday? I have been studying since the end of February once a week…but now I am going into I guess the insanity mode of studying everyday. </p>
How are you guys planning on studying x-x?
How should I study? Should I just read the review book or try to take notes as well?</p>
@GeneralDanier I scored 66/80 on the MC, a 5 on my DBQ and 6s on both FRQs and I was well in the 5 range… So I’d say 60 MC and 5s on essays will get you the coveted 5</p>
you can find how to score at apPASS calculator</p>
I am taking the upcoming APUSH exam, and I have been keeping up with the readings in my textbook over the year. This past weekend, I read the review book AP US History: An essential Cousebook by Ethel Wood and I took a practice multiple choice section in the Princeton Review. I scored a 52/80, which is a 65%. I am aiming for a 5, and I know the cutoff is a 71%, and I was wondering how I can narrow down my studying? Here is a table of decades and the number of questions that I missed in each decade.</p>
1750 1
1760 0
1770 3
1780 1
1790 1
1800 0
1810 0
1820 0
1830 1
1840 1
1850 1
1860 1
1870 1
1880 1
1890 2
1900 3
1910 2
1920 0
1930 3
1940 2
1950 1
1960 0
1970 1
1980 1</p>
(Some questions were in multiple decades, and some questions didn’t even have a decade)</p>
I was wondering if someone had a review book that they recommend to study, and based on the questions that I missed, which chapters or sections they recommend that I review the most thoroughly? </p>
I was also wondering what further steps I can take in my preparation.</p>
Thanks</p>
